Frozen Eggs
Prices edged higher on whole eggs
whites and were sharply higher on yolks.
Demand for yolks usually exceeded availa
bility as breidcers worked reduced sche
dules and were not anxious to separate.
Raw materials were confidently held and
generally met with resistance. Floor stocks
were otherwise in fair balance with needs
with must breakers cautious and unwilling
to replace inventories at current price
levels.

Trade sentiment was steady. Retail
orders were slow to fairly good, mostly
moderate. Loose eggs traded at or above
usual relationship to cartoned product.
Scheduled feature activity for next week
increased in some areas. Supplies were
generally in balance with expected needs.
Breakers operated on reduced schedules as
finished product values did not always
cover raw material costs.

Trucklot buying interest was very light
and most items were competitively priced
in an effort to stimulate demand. Cutlets
were fully adequate at $1.90-$1.95. Whole
breasts, particularly line run, were in heavy
supply for the light and cautious buyer.
Leg items were fully adequate to ample
and leg quarters remained difficult to place
at several points. Wings were in fairly
gocd balance at unchanged prices.

Fryer
' Nov. 1, 1989
Movement of ready-to-cook whole
fryers was fairly good but trading was lim
ited to regular commitments only. Buyers
showed no interest in extra product. Sup
plies were more than adeqaute for current
needs and being purshed to dear. In the
parts complex, supplies of cutlets and
wings were adequate, whole breasts, legs
and leg quarters were fully adequate to
ample. Less than trucklot asking prices
were unchanged to lower at 53-65 cents.
Live supplies were adequate. Average
weights ranged desirable to heavy.
Today’s processing schedules were heavy.
The trade sentiment was weak and
unsettled.
